Who are the richest porn stars in the world? The adult film business is a $15 billion per year industry that has made many people and corporations extremely wealthy. But frequently the actors and actresses do not reap much of the financial success of their work. That is probably why this was the most highly requested "richest list" we've ever had on Celebrity Net Worth. The results were pretty impressive. We knew there was a lot of money to be made in the adult world if you played your cards right, but we had no idea just how much. This list was unique in that for once, the majority of these people are women instead of men. In fact only five out of the twenty people on this list are male. That just goes to show how female dominated the adult industry is today. The actors on this list have a combined net worth of over $115 million! Even people who are not fans of the adult industry will recognize several stars on this list but there are some names and net worths that will surprise just about everyone. So sit back and get ready to find out who are the richest porn stars in the world by clicking the image below:

#1 Jenna Jameson – Net Worth $15 MillionNot surprisingly, Jenna Jameson is the richest porn star in the world with a net worth of $30 million! Not only is she the richest, but she's also arguably the most famous porn star in history who has acted in 160 movies. Jenna has appeared on many mainstream television, movies and radio shows and used her popularity to launch the incredibly successful ClubJenna.com. ClubJenna earned an estimated $30 million in revenues each year until Jenna sold the company to Playboy for an undisclosed fortune. Jenna Jameson is the queen of porn and the queen of making serious cash!

Tera Patrick famously stated that when she first got into the adult industry she made millions of dollars for other people, and now she makes millions for herself. $15 million to be exact. Before becoming a mogul in her own right, Tera acted in over 100 adult movies. Today she owns and operates her own production company and studio called Teravision. Teravision produces 15 films a year and is worth an estimated $30 million!

#3 Peter North – Net Worth $10 Million

Peter North has starred in an astonishing 1800 adult movies and has directed over 70 but the bulk of his $10 million net worth comes from his work behind the scenes. Peter North launched his own production company Northstar Associates in 2001 which has since produced 20 adult movies.

Jesse Jane is the fourth richest porn star in the world with a net worth $8 million.

You'd think anyone who has appeared in over 2000 movies would have much more than $5.5 million, but the truth is that male performers just are not as highly compensated as female performers. Ron Jeremy is one of the most famous and prolific stars in the porn world who has made many cross over appearances in television and movies. Many of Ron's acting appearances occurred when porn paid very little, if he was a brand new star he would easily be worth tens of millions of dollars.

During her career, Haze performed in over 500 films and eventually moved behind the camera where she directed 13 films.
